PS We just call it 'pudding'. Your pud & our pud (and pud means something entirely different over here, btw) are not alike. But people who eat Spotted Dick can't really complain if I tease them about their 'pud'.

Sorryto be pedantic, but I have a sneaking suspician that like I, you might prefer being corrected than living your life spelling 'blancmange' incorrectly.

Ah, my mistake. I ameded it just now.

My point was just that that piece of writing was utterly devoid of substance, it felt like my eyes were pushing right through it just reading it...

And I suppose it is too much to hope that his parents were advocates of the Bris Shalom...

If your son does have this problem, it will be when he is a sexually active adult and capable of deciding on his own what type of treatment to persue. I hjave never had a sexual partner complain about this, and I have had quite a few sexual partners.

OMG, that is a horrific photo! I am personally disturbed by it and a few levels. That doc cut off ALL of the innerforeskin, and the frenulum (those would be the sensitive areas left on a circ'd man). : If someone is going to want to get circ'd you would think they would only remove the outer foreskin and leave all of the frenulum. I have a link somewhere of a circ which was done that left the frenulum intact and nearly all of the innerforeskin. It was on an anti-RIC blog, where the guy was essentially saying that if their children decided when they were 18, they could spare a lot of the parts which are removed during a typical RIC. I will have to find that link. It's also a GREAT blog!

I once talked to a man who was circ'd as an adult, he said he was victimized on several fronts...he discovered after he didn't actually "need" to be circ'd, and his doctor ignored his requests for a loose circ, he wanted as much of the inner foreskin as possible and the frenulum. Instead the doc cut him very tight, removing the frenulum and virtually all the innerforeskin.

I have an IUD fitted, whenever we have sex it causes irritation to DHs penis, apparently it feels like something is 'stabbing' him........ Maybe it is this???

I also have an IUD and don't generally have this problem, though I've heard others say so too. It only happens in certain positions and/or if the strings are cut TOO short or too long- that is, they can't wrap around your cervix and stay out of the way.

Your husband wants to chop off part of his penis because of a few anonymous guys calling in to a radio show??? WOW! You should seriously get him to sit down and think about the logic in that.

: That's pretty messed up... My dh has had NO problems whatsoever with his foreskin and I am eternally grateful to my (late) MIL for protecting him when he was a baby There was no bleeding the first time he had intercourse either... but I guess it could happen to some guys.

The foreskin is such an integral part of the penis... really. I still can't wrap my mind around how a circ'd penis works... obviously it does since all these circ'd men have baby boys (and then circ them ) but I honestly have no idea how it would work at all I guess I could go round up some porn one of these days and find out, but then again, maybe not

love and peace.

mama to two girls and due in November!: Circumcision can never be undone :

I find the exact opposite. I see plenty of intact men in porn -yes, I am female, yes I do enjoy porn. In Europe, where porn on regular T.V. is normal in some countries, I saw only intact men.

When I was pregnant, my sex drive kicked into high gear, and since DB was taking up extra shifts, and I had been advised to quite working because of the high-stress enviroment, I ventured onto the internet. There were plenty of intact men.

I assume there is a lack of intact men in mainstream American porn, like the Jenna Jameson and company sort.

Hmm, well I am speaking mainly from the internet here. I have not seen much in the way of British pornography...
